Solution

The correct option is C Orders
In the current taxonomic system, families are grouped into orders.
In biological classification, the order is :
  • A taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus and species, with order fitting in between class and family. An immediately higher rank, super-order, may be added directly above order, while suborder would be a lower rank.
For example, The Juglans (walnut) and Hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae (or walnut family), which is placed in the order Fagales.
